6.9.8 Enable International Character Support
By default BACnet objects on the device contain ASCII strings in properties such as object
name, description, active/inactive text, state texts. This is the setting most third-party tools
are interoperable with. To support international character sets, the device can be configured
to expose strings as ISO-8895-1 (for most Western European languages) or UCS-2 (for
Unicode character sets such as Japanese).

6.10 Connections
6.10.1 Create a New Connection
After having configured the device‘s network ports with data points, internal connections
between those data points can be created. Usually, the manual method to create a
connection is used to create connections between different named data points.
A connection is an internal mapping in the device between input and output data points. A
connection always consists of
one
hub data point and
one or multiple
target data points.
Hub data points can be input or output. If the hub data point is an input, then the target data
points must be output and vice versa. All data points in the connection must be of a
compatible type.
